Foodchains and food webs are two key ideas that help to explain the relationships between all living things in an ecosystem and are a good place to start!
The diagram below shows a simple food chain, labeling the role each organism plays in the food chain. Can you find some more information or explanation
Can you find a better definition or explanation- or at least a website that explains things better? Place your links on the pages below- and then the rest of us can read and comment about which explanation is the best!
